I'm just wondering how people are upgrading to the KitKat bootloader. I haven't been on in nearly a half year and I'm sure I've missed something. Will I have to put on my stock firmware and upgrade from there first? Is there even a stock KitKat ROM for the XT925?
I am not sure if Fido has released their kitkat update yet, however I am aware that many others european and south americans have such as orange and others. So what we have been doing is flashing stock from those carriers and either taking the OTA or flashing it as well.

Well, I managed to upgrade my bootloader when I used the Brazil stock ROM plus modified OTA zip file but my modem partition got gibbled... I don't have LTE anymore. Well, not a band that works here.
I did see there was a patching process when I did the KK upgrade though and I seem to recall the modem partition being patched. Think it'll work if I used swapped the Rogers one in before I do the KK upgrade? I'm about to go back to 4.1.2 (erasing the partition and tz lines).

Hi,
I am hoping somebody can help me out. I need to unroot my phone and put it back to completely stock ROM so that it looks as though it has never been rooted. I am not running a custom ROM, however I have removed things from the stock ROM (stock browser, SMS and probably other things) when I first bought the phone so I need to be able to get those back. I assumed I had made backups of them using ti, but apparently I haven't (who knows what I was thinking).
Anyhow I am hoping maybe there is someone here from New Zealand who can tell me where to get the official Telecom XT stock ICS for the Atrix 2 MB865. I assume I am right in thinking if I flash that and then unroot it will be just as when I bought it? If theres anything I am missing here please let me know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have just been given this link elsewhere
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
It appears to be GB though, does anyone know if I will have any issues if I flash this, given I have already done an official OTA upgrade to ICS
It seems like most advise against flashing back to GB. And no, there doesn't appear to be a TNZ version of the ICS firmware available.
I've always flashed this firmware 6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET (in firmware superthread) to get back to stock. Works fine on my Telecom Arix 2, just have to add the apn of whatever network you're on to get 3G working.
It will restore fully to factory settings, no root or anything.
I have a XT1034 that I put the wrong lollipop update on (I think it was for an XT1032), and that led to it having no sim card detected.
I finally got it back in a usable state by going back to 4.4.4 and flashing the radio files I found in this file. (Sorry still can't post links.)
"Fix Modem issues for XT-1034 Moto-G.zip"
Then it was still glitchy (screen issues), So I've applied the 5.02 Canada AWS firmware, and everything seems to work except that I only get H or H+ for a connection.
I've not gotten 3g. I'm on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim, and My daughter has the exact same setup, but with stock roms/etc.
She has no problem getting 3g.
My goal is having the USA Lollipop back on here, with the correct radio flashed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

H/H+ is 3G, it's just that in America they only use the 3G icon.
If you want to restore back to USA firmware, flash this via fastboot https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6RNTe4ygItBQUN1SXJxYWtuY2M/view Instructions are here on how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707 When flashing the system sparcechunks keep note on the file name, it's named differently, so if you copy the command from the instructions it won't work because it's named differently on the zip.
After restoring to stock kitkat, update all the stuff on the playstore and then check for update, then you'll get the notification for lollipop. If you don't here is the OTA zip for lollipop, here is the Lollipop OTA for USA XT1034. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1zN8A3HtCVkdFF2b2dVU0hXUDQ/view?usp=sharing Copy it to your internal memory. Boot into stock recovery and follow the kitkat instructions to get the menu https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050 Select update from sdcard and select the ota zip and it will update to lollipop.
edit: I just noticed that the stock lollipop firmware for american xt1034 is available http://www.filefactory.com/file/149mdexndh9n/XT1034_FALCON-RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-36_19_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip You can skip installing kitkat and just flash the images via fastboot with the instructions I mentioned above.

Well I tried this first and it acted correctly, but never went past the unlocked bootloader screen. (I left it there for 15 mins or so.) So I did the downgrade to 4.4.4 again and was able to get into the os, and then copy the ota over and apply it using stock recovery.
Thank you very very much.
I've missed my Moto g.
Later,

I'm glad it worked! I think I know why your first attempt didn't work. There are 4 sparsechunk files in the zip and the link with the instructions only has commands for the first 3. You have have to copy the sparsechunk command again and change the number from 3 to 4 or .2 to .3 depending on how it's labelled in the zip.
Hi everyone,
First, thanks everyone for all the information I have found in this forum for the past few weeks.
Now my problem : I have a Moto G 4G XT1039 that keep losing signal randomly. The only way to get my signal back to call or receive sms seems to be a reboot of the phone.
I don't remember exactly when it started but I think it was around June. Until a month ago I never tried to root or flash my phone. I just used the official updates from Motorola. I live in France and the phone is perfect for me except this problem.
I read here and there that a lot of people seems to have the issue but I'm surprised nobody seems really pissed of.
I downgraded to 4.4.4 to see if it would solve my problem but it did not. I read that the signal loss could be caused by Android 4.4.2 so should I downgrade further ?
This weekend I flashed a nightly from CM 13, the problem is still here.
What can I do ? The problem seems to be related to the radio firmware, can I downgrade the radio firmware and keep a recent android or CM13 ?
For information my baseband version is m8926_309101.02.03.14r.
I'm not sure I post my problem in the good forum but it could help other people in my situation.
If someone has an idea....
Thanks
Firstly try the Stock ROM and Radio Firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 - follow flashing instructions to the letter - after this you can move on to CM13 if desired.
Well I have already done that, after I tried the 4.4.4 version.
I was on 5.1 then I downgraded to 4.4.4 then got back to 5.1 then tried CM 13.

Did you fastboot flash the Radio Firmware from that thread? Commands are in FAQ.
Yes I did. I event tried to flash the 5.1 radio firmware while still having the 4.4.4 android.
The baseband version I gave in my opening post is the last one for the EU region I believe.
Other Solutions to try:
1) Change SIM card / get a new SIM
2) Fastboot flash the Stock Factory Firmware Image for your phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795/post64203816
Thanks, I was going to order a new sim card to try this solution.
I already flashed the latest stock firmware last week but i will try again from scratch to be sure.
Provide fastboot logs (copy and paste command prompt) when flashing the firmware image. Fastboot may not provide errors, "okay" can mean total failure.
Hi,
Just to say that there is apparently no more signal loss with the CM13 nightly from 12/11. I hope it will last.
In the end I didn't flash stock firmware.
Thanks again for your suggestions, I will come back if the problem is back.
Hi guys, I have a G900p on 4.4.2 rooted with Phils recovery. My goal with this phone was to be able and use data internationally once it was unlocked, data didnt work on stock software. So I flashed Shohat Rom v5 and that made my data work, but my fingerprint scanner was unusable. What rom can I flash into this phone to have functioning data and functioning fingerscanner. Please consider that I am in Mexico which is international and I need data.
Thank you
the newest stock rom now has international data working

Hi, I also have a G900p sprint S5 on 5.0 software - G900PVPU3B0G1, but it also picks up no data at all here internationally. It picks up signal calls and all, but no data and I cant find the way to downgrade it to 4.4.2 since every time I try with Odin it simply fails. I wouldnt want to upgrade it to that new version, since then I think it would be even harder to downgrade to 4.4.2? hope you can lend a hand and let me know.
Thanks

well you cant downgrade the bootloader to anything below OG1 if your on stock. but if you root it you can install any custom rom through the custom recovery you added when rooting.
including flashing a 4.4.2 rom as long as your rooted with custom recovery.
when you flash a rom in the custom recovery your only flashing the rom itself not the bootloader. so you can go back to whatever rom you want but it must be done through a custom recovery. so to break it down
even if you upgrade and it doesnt give you the data your looking for you can root and flash an old rom.
one old trick that used to reset the data was a dialer code ##SCRTN# (press those digits in the dialer pad) it resets the entire data profile for the phone . so good luck the rest should be in the forums
If I'm on OG1 and rooted I can flash back to 4.4.2 ? Do I need to flash modem and kernel from the older version I'm flashing ?
Hi,
I'm giving my old Moto G to my brother, so I need to remove root and install stock firmware, as the sim unlock code does not work on the custom firmware. I can easily install the stock 5.1 lollipop EU rom, but then when I try to install the stock firmware (I'm pretty sure it's O2, but I've tried both O2 firmware as well as the Retail GB) it gets stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen. It's still there after ~30 minutes, so I'm fairly certain that it's crashing.
Does anybody know what's going on, or potentially have any fixes? There are no errors when flashing the firmware, and I've triple checked that I've got the correct firmware version.
Thanks.
